Paralympic Taekwondo Star Beth Munro Finds Solace in Mom’s Support After Early Loss

Beth Munro, the reigning Paralympic silver medalist in taekwondo, faced a tough setback at the Grand Palais in Paris. After losing her opening match, setting up a repechage against Lisa Kjaer, the Dane who defeated her for gold in Tokyo, Munro’s hopes of a second Paralympic medal were dashed. Despite the disappointment, Munro found strength in a phone call from her mother, who reassured her of her unwavering pride. This support, alongside her commitment to the sport, fuels Munro’s resolve to continue pursuing her taekwondo dreams, potentially aiming for the LA 2028 Paralympics.
